The Pop 360 is a jumping outside crescent kick, that takes off from both feet and lands on both feet.

01 

Step forward with your kicking leg in a half circle motion. 


02 

Open up your arms to build up momentum. Your other foot should follow the other.


03 

As your backleg meets the other, push off with both feet at the same time, while you sing both arms in a circular motion. Try to direct your momentum upwards.

04 

Swing your kicking leg straight up and across, as you turn around to face your target.


05 

Kick through wide as possible. Flexibility will definitely help. Spot your target.

 

06 

Swing your kicking leg down, as you finish the kick in a wide circle. As you swing down, land on both feet at the same time.

07 

Finish! My friend right here did a half gyro on the way down, but that's not needed to complete the trick.

Tips
You can also replace the outside crescent kick with an hook kick instead. This is a harder variation and quite uncommon.

Landing this trick on your kicking leg is fairly easy and can be your first introduction into hyper kicks. Just tuck your non kicking leg in as your kicking leg swings around and you should automatically land on your kicking leg.
